You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Command line code to switch between "Allow offline access" and "Online only" instead of mouse clicks
It would be nice to be able to switch between "allow offline access" and "online only" on the command line instead of using the mouse. For example, "% dropbox -offline_accsess true file1,file2,file3....
My operating system is macOS sonoma 14.5.
For example, let's say I register a workflow as a quick action that attaches a file selected in the Finder to a new email using the Automator mechanism.
If the file in the Dropbox folder is set to 'online only', there is no file entity and the file cannot be sent in this workflow.
If it were possible to change the setting to 'Allow offline access' from the command line, we could incorporate that change process into our workflow so that we could use the quick action without worrying about whether the file is stored in the Dropbox folder or not.
